I am Theater Director and writer. Typically, I think in poetry and some times in a dream state where associations are more fluid. I am also a therapist specializing in addiction and trauma.

Background Information

I have been influenced by Shakespeare, Jungian philospohy, my Christian background,world literature and politics, certainly current events, inequity within society. The global crisis, beginning with climate change, surging into global warfare, pandemic, and our inhumanity to fellow humans is often overwhelming and reason for despair. It is my hope that I will be able to give more than I take while on earth and assist in more conscious healing than destruction. Failing that, to do no harm to my fellow humans and to honor the cycle of our finite lives.

Birth Place

Hartford, CT United States
